Thin, Thinner, AT200. "Ultra thin and ultra stylish" - Toshiba hasn't got that wrong. At only 7.7 mm the device really is thin. Whether it's everyone's cup of tea or even 'ultra stylish' depends on the user. Just like in life, it's not just what's on the outside that counts, but also what's on the inside!!

The price is hot. Asus proves with the K53SK-SX021V that you don't have to spend more than 600 Euros for good performance. Alongside the metal palm rest, the brand new Radeon HD 7610M catches your eye. Can the 15-inch all-rounder stand against the tough competition?

Cheap is rarely the best option. This was confirmed by the office, subnotebook and multimedia test devices in January. No matter if it was a ProBook for EUR 430, a Compaq Presario for EUR 350 or an Aspire with dual core graphics for EUR 600 - none of the devices were really awe-inspiring.

X53 aka K53. As if it wasn't already difficult enough to keep a clear mind amidst the dozens of almost incomprehensible model numbers, Asus has given us another one. There's obviously the same device behind the model numbers X53 and K53. In this review, we've scrutinized the X53SK multimedia notebook.

Afraid of the dark? Around nine months after the Xbox 360 version, Remedy releases the mystery thriller Alan Wake once more, this time for the PC. We have tested whether the technology can keep up with the competition and how demanding the game is on hardware.

Is a little more OK? The Samsung 300E5A wants to stand out with high mobility at a low price, despite the lack of ULV hardware. Even the odd game isn't a problem for the Office notebook thanks to the switchable Nvidia GPU.

1015PX = R051PX? Asus unleashes another netbook onto the market with the proven seashell case. The 1015PX admittedly seems to be of identical construction to the R051PX.

The Style in SonyStyle. Sony refreshes its budget 14-inch Vaio E lineup for the New Year with WiDi, Blu-Ray and standard voltage Sandy Bridge Core i5 CPUs.

Saved Money at the Wrong End? Tablets are the craze. Coby tries to take a piece of the cake with its new, relatively low-priced tablet. Does the Kyros 7022 have what it takes to attract buyers?

A test of patience. With the Slate 2, the manufacture HP targets business customers who even in the realm of tablets are forced to stick with Windows. These people have to reach deep in their pockets and still be content with a slow Atom Processor. Can the extensive list of features compensate for that?

Weak corporate. Dell has a 10.1 inch tablet with Windows 7 in its range called Latitude ST. It is to address companies that want to completely integrate their tablets into the existing IT network. In contrast to the Android devices, the Latitude ST runs on an Atom processor from Intel. Is it strong enough for Windows 7?

Good and cheap? The Pavilion g6-1352eg is particularly striking due to its attractive price. HP manufactures a 15 inch multimedia device for EUR 500 that has two graphics cards (CrossFire) in addition to a dual core CPU right away. Is the AMD hardware a match for the Intel and Nvidia competition?

For smart savers. HP designs the Pavilion g7-1353eg according to the motto "plenty of hardware for a small price". The inexpensive multimedia notebook, price-tagged at just under EUR 500, not only has a quad core processor and two graphics chips, it also has a 750 GB HDD and a six GB DDR3 RAM. Who can resist such a bargain?

New graphics card in an old garment. Packard Bell freshens its 17-inch EasyNote LS11 series with the latest components. Particularly interesting among them is the "brand new" Radeon HD 7670M from AMD. For a scarce 700 Euros, is this multimedia device going to be a cost/performance king?

Compact performance. With the 14.5-inch Envy 14, HP has managed to squeeze some powerful components into a slim and stylish chassis--particularly if you opt for a model like this one, with a quad-core, 2nd-generation Intel Core i7 processor. It is also equipped with a midrange graphics card from AMD, which is switchable to integrated graphics when longer battery life is required. So, is this the perfect traveling companion? Not entirely. Keep reading to find out why.

Run notebook, run! The motto: Small and mobile is no longer only to apply to ultrabooks. Asus promises that the U56E is a high performance, enduring runner that will stir up the office field properly. Is this enough to justify a purchase price of over €700?
Intel Core i5-2430M | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | 15.60" | 2.5 kg

Affordable versatile performer. Acer uses mainly on components from AMD in the Aspire 7560G. A quad core Fusion processor and two graphics chips in CrossFire mode are available in only few devices. And best of all: The interesting hardware combination only costs €600. Is it an alternative to the established Intel/Nvidia notebooks?
AMD A8-3520M | AMD Radeon HD 6740G2 | 17.30" | 2.9 kg

Well-rounded ultrabook. Long battery runtimes, a matt screen and high performance - it almost looks as if Samsung has made the dream of a perfect mobile companion come true. But is the notebook for over €1000 really as perfect as it seems?

Step in. Lenovo has built a good reputation with its ThinkPad series. These high-quality business notebooks deliver cutting-edge technology to customers all over the world. Lenovo also manufactures other notebooks, such as, the Lenovo B-series, which, unlike the ThinkPad series, are aimed at buyers looking for the "essentials"; the series is advertised as: "ideal, cheap notebooks for home and office use". Find out more about the B-series in the following review.

Red All-round Package. The new red EasyNote TR13HR is equipped with an Intel i5-2450M and a dedicated Nvidia GeForce 630M graphics card, both of which should provide sufficient performance and battery runtime alike. On top of this Packard Bell also supplies an abundant software package for the notebook. A thorough success or rather a bad compromise?
Intel Core i5-2450M | NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

Good and cheap? How much power does a notebook need to cope with everyday tasks? HP believes not much and equips the 15.6 inch Presario CQ57 with an energy-efficient E-450 APU. In return, the price of not even €330 is tempting.

Solid entry-level tablet? The new Lenovo IdeaPad Tablet A1 was announced a long time ago but it was first available at the beginning of December.

Multimedia headquarters. The Pavilion dv7-6b02eg has everything that can be expected from a well-equipped multimedia notebook. In addition to a quad core processor and a top of the range, DirectX 11 graphics card, a solid state drive and a BluRay burner are under the hood. Another highlight is the matt Full HD screen. Is the price of €1300 justified?
Intel Core i7-2670QM | AMD Radeon HD 6770M | 17.30" | 3.2 kg

Small is beautiful. In December the focus was on small subnotebooks and multimedia laptops and not on big power computers. Surprise: It was easier to select the winners than we thought: Dell, HP, and Apple win the cups.

SSD is everything. This ProBook is definitely aimed at professionals with its HD+ screen, DisplayPort and docking station. But the notebook only has a weak AMD quad core.
AMD A6-3410MX | AMD Radeon HD 6520G | 14.00" | 2.4 kg

Compact and quick? The smallest model in the Samsung Series 4 is equipped with a 12.5 inch matte display, and is powered by an Intel Core i5 2520M dual-core processor with a clock speed of 2.5 GHz.

Duracase 2.0. Samsung promises perfect reliability with its business notebook, 600B5B. The 15.6 inch laptop offers a lot of security features and a bright, non-glare screen. Intel's Core i5-2520M (2.5 GHz) and Nvidia's NVS 4200M are responsible for the power. Is the notebook worth its steep price of €1100?
Intel Core i5-2520M | NVIDIA NVS 4200M | 15.60" | 2.6 kg

Business for tight budgets. The case and screen both come with matt looks. Is that enough to call it "business"? Asus thinks so and even prints AsusPro on the minimalistic computer. How much "professional" is possible for €450?
Intel Core i3-2330M | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | 15.60" | 2.6 kg

Complete Amazon experience. Amazon caught the tablet world by storm when the retailer announced its first multimedia tablet for just $199 USD. Is the performance and hardware reflective of the budget price? or is the Kindle Fire greater than the sum of its parts?

Intel Core i5-2450M | NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M | 15.60" | 2.4 kg

All-rounder with GeForce GT 630M. Acer is one of the first manufacturers to build in the brand new GeForce 600 series from Nvidia. The battery life of the Aspire 5755G isn't to be neglected either, despite the installed quad core CPU and midrange GPU: The Optimus technology makes it possible. The stylish design and attractive price are other selling points.

Multimedia Nexus. Desktop replacement notebooks are a dime a dozen, and Lenovo has tossed its hat into the ring with its introduction of the IdeaPad Y570, a strange hybrid between a media center and a portable business notebook.

Silver Arrow. Buyers looking for a compact, reasonably priced, yet attractive multimedia notebook will find the U46SV to their liking.

Intel Core i5-2410M | NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M | 14.00" | 2.3 kg
